North Louisiana,

Tho Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific
Railroad, which has a large amount Of land
for sale in North Louisiana, is doing good
work in calling tho attention Of people
seeking homes to the advantages of that
portion of the State; and 10 that end it has
published q pamphlet fully describing
these lands and tho advantages they hold
out to settlers.
There is, this pamphlet says truly, less
known about this portion of tho South
than of many othc1s that otlor far less
attractions, for it is only lately and since tho
completionof this railroad that it has been
placed in railroad communication with the
world. And yet it offers the Hnc"t native
grasses, growing everywhere luxuriantly,
making it unsurpassed as stock-raising
country fruit OF all kinds, largo returns
of cotton, corn, tobacco and small grain /;
timber in abundance, climate never too
hot or too cold for field work. free from
protracted drouth, and is finally Of great
salubrity and wonderfully healthy. Two
crops of corn per year can be grown upon
the same ground, of sorghum, rice and jute
and three cuttings of tobacco. But it is
unnecessary TO give here any account OF
this portion of the State, since much of the
pamphlet is taken from descriptions pre-
viously given in the Times Democrat.
We only desire to call attention to the fact
that this information is now being distrib-
uted by the railroad through those portions
of the country from which immigration
mainly comes and must do much to send
it in this direction.
Arkansas and Texas owe their immigra-
ton largely to tho advertisements of their
lands scattered broadcast over the country
by the railroads. The latter owned large
tracts in these States, and naturally sought
to persuade immigrants to settle on them.
When, in Texas, it was proposed to create
Bureau Of Immigration, it was opposed
on the ground that it was unnecessary, as
tho railroads would voluntarily do all The
advertising that was necessary, and this
proved TO DO the case. IL is TO be hoped
that tho efforts of tho VicEsburg, Shrovo-
port and Pacific Railroad in this direct ion
will have some good effect in North Louis
lana in making a knowledge of its advan
| tages better known; fox once they are
| known immigration will set in.-2Jmcs
